Yeah Rhonda, I always want to ride. It never gets old to me. I gave my best friend my 2007 BMW 328i (lease car, turn in this December, she is making payments) when I bought my Harley. The alternator crapped out on my ol' Ford truck about a week ago and I don't care. I have bought groceries more than once on the RK. I got some of the strangest looks as I wheeled out $120.00 - $130.00 in groceries to a motorcycle. LOL. I love it! Rain or shine, hot or cold, I have the gear for all seasons, at least in S.E. Tennessee/N.W. Georgia area.

Rhonda, you sound like my wife. She does the same when it comes to riding on the back or riding her own.
As to my desire to ride I will say that over the years I've let bad weather influence my decision to ride a little more. Heck, back 10 or 15 years ago I'd take off in the rain just to ride around town a while. Now, well I'll ride in the rain, but not just for the fun of it. If I've got somewhere to go and its raining then I won't let that stop my trip. And extreem cold has the same effect. I'll bundle up and ride if I'm going on a trip or something but when its below 40 I might not just take off and cruse around.
